U don't need to go that far, there are airports nearest to Maryland which cheap airlines like Qatar, Emirate et'al fly thru. U can use IAD dulles or JFK they are all few miles away from Maryland

Instead of you goin that far, why not book and make Dulles ur POE? There are couple of cheap airlines that fly that route and it's just 45mins to Maryland. Most airlines that fly thru BWI are very expensive

When you get to the POE ie ur airport of arrival tell the border and immigration officers there that ur host's address has changed, it will be updated and ur greencard will be mailed to ur new address. Ur address can always be changed @ the poe but get them notified.

Fortsucc: Please, I want to change my destination cause my host said he cannot accommodate me and my husband, I hope this will not affect where our green cards will be mailed? Can we change the address where will want our green cards to be mailed during the process of registration?thanks.

Right from the very first day ASUU initiated that their plans, they have compromised the future of Nigerian students for their selfish interests, how can ASUU be agitating for 70yrs retirement age for its in our Nigeria society whre there is high unemployment rate, how will those students who graduated with good grades n have the intension of lecturing be incorporated into the system is it when they are old and not useful? Another question is that how many of them can still think and act logically @ that age when several aging diseases such as Alzeimar, parkinson disease even sometimes stroke may have affected their reasoning faculties? ASUU to me is jus being selfish not considering the future of Nigerian youths which is @ stake. We know many of them don't even work all they do is to give out materials on the first day of their lectures and that will b the last time they would be seen for that semester/session. Greatest Nigeria youths, it's high time we opened our eyes to the realities of our societies rather than taking side in this faceoff btw FG/ASUU, am not ing either of the parties involved in this faceoff cos they both are trading wt our futures.

Go to another social security istration office for ur ssn, it's likely d person you met doesn't know anytin about DV visa, cos once ur Visa is stamped @ d port of entry, it will last you for a year and it can serve as ur I'd before d arrival of ur GC, I would advice you go to another office, cos some of dis officers have little knowledge on DV, it may also happen to you @ MVA if u want 2 process ur driver licence they may ask you to go n get driving record from FRSC.

missylaura: greetings house..
pls i have this problem that is killing me. i need your help. i came to USA after we won the DV. i and my husband. we came on the 27 of august n when we went to apply for our ssn today, the lady that attended to us told us that our visa's have expired.
i was so confused n she said we should go to the immigration so that they can extend the date before they can issue us the ssn.
When we went for our interview, we where under AP that lasted for 4 months, after the AP, i noticed that our visa's will be expiring after 2 months that is, it was issued on july n will expired on September. so when we went there today, they told us it expired, n we have to extend it. i am so worried. pls can somebody help cuz our host doesn't know much pls.

Yes! That's what I pay monthly 4 my BB plan on simple mobo though it's unlimited calls and internet. But it's still cheap compare to other networks here.

pator:

Bro, are you sure of this? $54/month is about 8,640 naira. that is on a high side

Ur ssn and either ur or state I'D would be accepted for that, I heard GC takes about 6weeks to arrive now so you can do ur CNA before its arrival

Sakirasexy: Do I have to get my green card in newyork before I will start my cna course .answer needed asap

U will need a new Simcard from network providers in US such as Tmobile, AT$T Simple Mobile, but simple mobile is good if you desire to continue using ur BB, it is about $54/month tax inclusive

Sakirasexy: House ,pls how easy is it to get conected to the internet .am heading to newyork by next month and am using a blackberry .I dnt want to rely on my host for fone calls and browzing .if any one know the cost ,pls tell

Yes it will, but guy the one dat has Gps cos u will need dat for ur movement around

pator: Brethren, I want to know if the BB from Nigeria will work in the US because I just want to get another BB. Please urgent before I pay for it. That is the only phone I will be holding.

Age is part of requirements 4 registration for DVlottery, as a minor you can't apply but rather be a dependant(beneficiary) under either of ur parents if they eventually win.

lhasky007:
That's not true, age is not a requirement but you must have at least 5 credit in your O levels to qualify. Hope this ans your question.

Am not angry, I was only trying to tell you U can get a job without driver licence in DC. But dat never stops you from processing ur licence because weather is changing soon u will need a reliable means of transportation to ur work.






[quote author=buklan4real@yah][/quote]

Who says u can't get any job without driver licence in DC? As much as I know, u can get jobs in DC without driver licence, the essence of learning driving befor coming over is to make ur mobility easy wen u com and facilitate ur process of gettng drivers licence here. Please let's stop givng dis ppl all dis hear says information, I work in DC and I have no driver licence, the Metro buses and trains are there 4 ur mobility to work.

buklan4real@yah:


yES! u have to learn aw to drive b4 leaving Nija, so dat d idea will help u
cos dey said u cant get any job without ur driver's licence

Qatar and Emirate are the cheapest flights to Washington dc dat I know, try n check it out but ur nearest airport is Dulles (IAD) it shouldn't be more dan 180k @ most 4 dos 2 airlines. Goodluck

Sakirasexy: Congratulations to those that got their visa and sucess to those awaiting their interview.
Pls ow do I book a flight going to washington dc .answer needed asap .

Chuck87: House, please how long does it take to get the packages on arrival in Texas. I've been here for 2 weeks and still nothing at all in the mail.

It takes like six(6) weeks now 2 get ur package (GC) so be patient bro.

U are saying as if you know what other past foreign affairs ministers did during their own time, go n read Nigeria foreign policy in the 1970s you will see what ministers like late Gen. Joe N Garba did as a foreign affairs minister and how dat era has since remain the "Hey day and Golden age" of Nigeria's foreign policy.
So stop saying he is best FA minister since jaja wachuku.

cjrane: Otunba Gbenga Ashiru is the best Foreign Minister Nigeria has had since the time of Jaja Wachukwu.
Nigeria became a laughing stock in the world principally because over the years,Nigerians and the country's interests were rudely violated by many countries without Nigeria raising a finger to complain.

Until the South Africans were rudely surprised with the retaliatory deportations,Nigeria's foreign policy had lacked focus and teeth.
I'm glad the FG will retaliate this singling out of Nigerian citizens for humiliation by the Brits.If nothing were done,the same policy would soon be copied by many countries that wish to exploit the fact that Nigerians visit their countries in large numbers.

MsSantaClaus:

No you don't have to go, my niece went there yesterday and was told the SSN would be sent to her in 3 weeks from the date of her arrival. She need not have gone. They said that if after 3 weeks she doesn't receive it then she should come back to them.

For as much as I know concerning the issue of SSN, it's very important you go to Social security 2 apply 4 ur ssn, dats wot almost everybody entryng dis country has been doin, nobody is sending anytin to you without applyng 4 it. Don't forget they have a thousand and one ppl vistitng their office to apply so I will advice u ask ur niece again if she got their message well.

The essence of the naija drivers license is to make it quick and brief for you 2 get a drivel licence in Maryland, wtout it u may have 2 go for a driving sku first whch is about $450. As 4 ur oda question, wen you com you will know things dat r lucrative in Maryland ok

joshfem04: hi everyone, i've been following dis trend for while, u guyz r great. I'm a winner plannin to travel later dis month buh av some questions i need an answer to.

2. My suppose host told me to get a nigerian driver's license while comin to d state precisely maryland. I dont av d license. Of what importance is d license.

Every state in America is good 4 residency, but it all depend on what you want and the field you intend to major. But wen you come, you can always know ur way.

remkay2012:

Thanks Adesojiaderemi, we have received our visa with the packages. We are helding to MIchigan. Do you have any idea of that place will look like and how about the job over there? Since I am going with my family, I don't want to rely much on our host.

The answer to ur question is YES,locate a homeland(social security istration) dept close to you a week after you enter into the country. You need to go there and apply in person ok.

teeebabie: Pls I want to ask if it is necessary to go apply for SSN after one has already ticked yes in the forms
sent to Kentucky.. the question dt asked if one's info should b used to process a SSN.... And if u tink it is necessary , won't that be a double application and is dr any likely consequences of dt or consequences of not going to apply....
Tanx for your prompt response

The answer to ur question is YES,locate a homeland(social security istration) dept close to you a week after you enter into the country. You need to go there and apply in person ok.

Since u have ssce, I would advice u attend a CNA or MEDTEC class it's helpful and more beneficial dan working in a mall or eatery. Jus try n locate a CNA or MEDTEC approaved training center near you and 4 it, it will b useful 4u and from there u can go 2 community college in ur county. U can also try Correctional work too though d processng takes time.

1. U can stay in Maryland while ur husband is in New york 3days after ur arrival but
(a) hw would you get ur GC and SSN?
(B) it will affect u pple time 2 settle down and balance cos it is always good 4 couples 2 b 2geda and do things in common dis will make dem 2 get better fast.
2.The cheapest mean of transportatn from NY to MD is by road but dat may take about 4-5hrs depending on d city u re goin in Maryland.
3.Naijas are so much in Maryland ok, it's jus like u re in ur neigbourhood @ hom
4.I will advice u 2 learn driving if u can cos drivng test 4 maryland is not easy and d cost of drivng sku here is high. Goodluck!

Let ME gve u quick and easiest Method though It might be tough For you To consider, The US Army and U will get Ur citizenship within 6months and File For Ur spouse immediately.But this might b tough though and It also Depend On Ur Age.

mogzy:

I dont Know how many hours It Is and The fare but Ur frnd Can Call his Host To Assist in dt aspect Or better still he Can get a Cab But It might b expensive o cos Cab drivers Charge based On distance covered On their Taxi metre.

All things being equal, you be current by September and ur interview by October. What you need now is to start getting ur necessary documents obtained (NPC port for now and medical and police after ur 2NL)

virginofafrica: please i need help here. my case NUMBER is 2014AF00006*** WHEN is my interview likely to be. please i want respond.am from AFRICA(NIGERIA

Yes it's true that you will get a greencard some weeks after you get to the US and possibly become citizen five(5) years after if u have no criminal record and don't stay outside the State beyond speculated period. That is why it also known as Greencard lottery.

ernestleon: Is it true that when you get to the U.s through the dv program,you get a green card after two weeks?

I don't agree with you madam/sir DV 2014 appointment start only when they are current and this will start by September for people with low case numbers that will be interviewed by October. So don't let any customer representative give you false hope when there are still gamut of unscheduled 2013 DV applicants.

virginofafrica: i called the customer care center yesterday 430 pm Nigeria time, and she said that 2014 selectee are not going to be given appointment until 6 weeks time, and she said that i should call them back in 6 weeks time by then the 2014aPPLICANT further processing will have began ,. so i feel it will be useful to some of you who are anxious of receiving an appointment message instantly. so i advice you guys should just do or process the necessary document that you need to prepare.

Not me oo I have crossed the bridge since last year oo

alickic:
Wait for ur 2nd NL(notification letter) before taking further steps. Besides,have u confirmed ur date and month of birth?
